im working on a 3D top down type of game. i dont want camera to follow the player fixed scene level.

when i pressed the key[A & D] the player moving but he is not turning according to direction. im not into programming side please help me im struggling a lot with this…

i want to rotate my player…HELP

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour {

	public float speed = 1f;

	// Update is called once per frame
	void Update () {

		if (Input.GetKey (KeyCode.D)) {


			transform.position += new Vector3 (speed * Time.deltaTime, 0.0f, 0.0f);	

	
		}
	

		if (Input.GetKey (KeyCode.A))

		
			transform.position -= new Vector3 (speed * Time.deltaTime, 0.0f, 0.0f);

      if (Input.GetKey (KeyCode.W))

		
			transform.position += new Vector3 (0.0f, 0.0f, speed * Time.deltaTime);

	       if (Input.GetKey (KeyCode.S))

	
			transform.position -= new Vector3 (0.0f, 0.0f, speed * Time.deltaTime);

	}

what’s a top down game? did you rotate the player and the background or just the camera?
from what I know so far in unity, there are 2 types of axis a global axis that remains unchanged and is indepent of gameObjects ,and a local one which is dependent on the gameObjects orientation. so perhaps you changed the orientation of the player through either rotating the object itself or the background?
